摘　　要：Forensic entomology could provide valuable data for the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimation and other relevant information,such as causes and circumstances of death.Some representatives of flesh flies are one of the dominant necrophagous insects during early stages of decomposition,demonstrating unique biological characteristics compared with other necrophagous flies.Moreover,they lead to global health concerns as carriers of various pathogenic micro-organisms,and dominantly result in the traumatic myiasis.Thus,sarcophagid flies are considered important in decomposition processes for PMImin estimation.However,the utility of sarcophagid flies has been seriously hampered by limited ecological,biological and taxonomic knowledge of them.The aim of this paper is to provide a brief review on the species,distribution and biological habit of forensically important sarcophagid flies.In addition,the relation between traumatic myiasis and flesh flies,molecular identification methods and developmental pattern of flesh flies are summarized.
